People are freaking out all over Norway because of what you are seeing here. According to Norwegian news outlets, the spooky giant spiral was seen, photographed, and recorded on video from all over the country. Updated with video.
Could it all be a hoax? Maybe it's a massive joke, but all kinds of Norwegian news sites are reporting on it. According to NKRNorway's national TV channelit could be related to a rocket fired from a Russian submarine in the White Sea. The Russians are denying any part on it at this at the moment. Nick Banbury, a witness located at Harstad, described how it all happened:
We are used to seeing lots of auroras here in Arctic Norway, but on my way to work this morning I saw something completely unexpected. Between 7:50 and 8:00 a.m. local time, there was a strange light in the sky. It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in colour to the aurora with a mysterious rotating spiral at one end. This spiral then got bigger and bigger until it turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to the earth.
As hard as it is to believe, you can't dispute the fact that the strange spiral was witnessed and recorded by thousands of people from hundreds of miles away, which means that the phenomenon occurred at a very high altitude. Even Phil Plait from Bad Astronomy agrees that this is real, and says that it was probably a rocket out of control.
While it is not rare that a malfunctioning rocket will move in a spiral pattern I seriously (series) doubt it will result in a perfectly smooth spiral. This was not a rocket or missle, nor is it natural.
Un-natural?
Your thoughts?
Based on the videos and pictures I have seen It looks to me like some kind of projection. It just looks too smooth and ordered to be a rocket plume. Especially the way the “black hole” opens up. I don’t know, maybe I need to re-adjust my meds but it just doesn’t look right.
I would welcome any real sign of Global warming since I am sitting here in minus 0 temps and we are breaking records of freezing cold overnight temps. How about -6 and I am in central Washington state where it is at least normally 20 degrees higher right now.

There is a verse in the Bible that says He rolled back the Heavens like a scroll. I would welcome it if that is what it is. I do not believe in man-made global warming for one the idiots that say it is a fact say for a fact we had an ice age after a tropical earth. So what is it naturally without man? Tropical Dinos drove SUV and had too many factories. Tropical plant life has been found in the antarctic.
You should learn the term Simple Observation instead of Simply observation if you want people to beleive you are more intelligent than they are. Also the term is Black Hole as in a rip in material not whole as in he ate the whole sandwhich. Feel better now for slamming one of God’s children?
I don’t know if you believe in God But BHO sais he does. If it has anything to do with the Bible then you should know there is a verse in the Bible that says He rolled back the Heavens like a scroll. I am stupid but a scroll looks much like a spiral on the end to me. I could be wrong after all I am only man but He is God so I turn it over to Him. My Him is not a man with BO as his initials. BO stinks from thousands of miles away but God can even control him. I welcome the rest rather than live under socialism. God kill me now or kill him. I pray for God to intervene. I am ot suicidal but I pray for BO to do it ad take the pressure off of me because I am a christian and will never stop going to church. I will go to church in public even if I am accused of being a heterosextarianist: even though I am not a racist. you want to praise your savior then you live under his thumb.
Thank you for the APOD extra and link to the OP. The 2009 comments and banter about
the government are much less serious than they are in today’s news and commentary.
As usual, it is cloudy here in Bugtussle Ohio, so stargazing is not a frequent occurrence.
Ah, Bugtussle, I think I’ve had the meat loaf dinner at the Bugtussle Grille.
A fine establishment!
They should have this photo in the menu to illustrate “curly fries”.
Yet another brilliant idea! ;-)
